Beware: DL app doesn't work with iOS 13

A quick note of caution: the Fly Delta app has yet to work for me with iOS 13, the upcoming software release for iPhones. The app crashes upon viewing most pages. It is very difficult to go back to iOS 12 once you download 13. For anyone considering downloading the public beta, I would wait until the official release in September. I'm sure Delta will have it fixed by then and hopefully sooner.

I am also in this boat; such is life. It was actually working pretty well initially for me, but either Apple or Delta changed something and broke it.

Also was working fine for me, and broke down during the weekend. I think I will roll back to iOS12 until the issue is fixed, as I rely a lot on the App.

Pro Tip: Enter the Delta app in Airplane Mode, launch the app, and then you can turn Wifi/ Cell back on and use the app. Works for me on Beta 4.

Same thing happened to me. Working fine, then poof. Rolled back to 12 until the next beta version.

I had some issues at one point where it would crash on start but lately it's been working fine. Fingers crossed because I have a long international trip starting Sunday...

Glad I checked the thread. Seems like it's better to wait a while rather than being on the bleeding edge.
